Race Card Pays Off in Spades

• Family of African illegal alien who died of Ebola in America paid off by hospital.

By Pete Papaherakles—

The family of African immigrant ThomasEric Duncan, the first person to die ofEbola in the United States, recently settled a lawsuit with Texas Health PresbyterianHospital Dallas over allegationsthat doctors did not treat Duncan becausethey are “racist.” Duncan’s family, who on October 8declared that they would sue the hospital immediatelyfollowing his death, claimed that the hospitalmisdiagnosed Duncan initially simply because he was black and poor.

Duncan, a native of Liberia, was the first patientdiagnosed with Ebola in America and theonly person to die of the disease in the country.Six days after entering the U.S. on a visato visit his sister in Texas, Duncan went to theemergency room at Texas Presbyterian Hospital,on September 26. After meeting with a doctor, he wassent home with antibiotics, but on the 28th, aftervomiting in front of the apartment he was stayingat, Duncan returned to the hospital by ambulance and was diagnosed with Ebola.

Having no previous contact with the diseaseand no known treatment, Duncan was given an experimentaldrug, but he died 10 days later. Twonurses who treated Duncan also were infected butultimately recovered from the disease. Some of his relatives were quarantined for three weeks.

Experts contend that there is noway to know ifDuncan would have survived had he been properlydiagnosed on his initial hospital visit. By that point,Duncan was beyond the 21-day incubation period and the hospital had no cure for Ebola anyway.

But family members felt the hospital was somehowresponsible for Duncan’s death and decidedto sue for damages.

In an interview with CNN, Duncan’s nephew,Josephus Weeks, linked Duncan’s allegedly subpar treatment because of his race.

“Had he been another color, he probably wouldbe living today, he would have survived it,”Weekssaid. “And that’s what’s really hurting me the most.. . . They treated him the way they did because of the color of his skin.”

Failing to make a clear case for his theory,Weeks added: “You stand a chance if you’re white,but not if you’re black.”

The Duncan family attorneys also piled it on,accusing Texas Presbyterian of not providing Duncanwith state-of-the-art experimental treatmentsand rushing him to advanced medical facilities likethe National Institutes of Health (NIH). The reason,they claim, is because Duncan was poor, had no insurance and was black.

Although Weeks and the attorneys played the race card well, they are being disingenuous.

Not only was Duncan not an American, he enteredthe U.S. illegally by lying on his visa application,according to reports. Consequently, his family is not entitled to anything.

Here is the truth about Duncan.

Duncan left Liberia on September 19 and arrived in theU.S. on September 20. Liberian officials have admittedthat Duncan lied on a health form in order to concealhis exposure to Ebola. The chairman of theLiberia Airport Authority told The New York Times:“[Duncan] lied on his form. If he had answered truthfully, he would have been sent to secondaryscreening immediately and not allowed to leave.”

What did he lie about? When he was asked onthe health form whether he had contact withsomeone who had Ebola, Duncan answered, “no.”The Times, however, reported that on September 15Duncan helped a 19-year-old pregnant woman getto the hospital when she was convulsing and vomiting.The woman was so sick that Duncan had tocarry her. That woman and members of her family later died from the Ebola virus.

Texas officials say Duncan came in contactwith as many as 100 Americans during his visithere, including five children who attend four differentschools, all of whom had to be watched closely after making contact with Duncan.

Yet due to political correctness and the failureon the part of the Obama administration to secureU.S. borders, Texas Presbyterian Hospital cavedin to race-hustling extortion by Duncan’s family and settled out of court.

Details about the amount of the settlementwere not disclosed during a November 12 press conference.Lee Weisbrod, a lawyer for the family, saidthat it would be enough to “take care” of Duncan’s parents and his four children.

“I believe this facility is an outstanding facility,”Weeks now says about Presbyterian Hospital,and acknowledges that it’s human to err. “And weas humans—we’re not perfect, we make errors—but it’s how you recover from errors that make you who you are.”

Weisbrod said that the family also wants a book or movie produced to depict Duncan’s ordeal.

Only in America.

How Fast Can Ebola Spread into an American Epidemic?

By Bill White

An estimated 9,000 people have beenreportedly infected with Ebola inAfrica, but the World Health Organization(WHO) says that only 20% ofthe cases are being reported—meaningthat 45,000 in Africa have been infected. Some70% of those infected die, and 4,300 are known tohave died so far, meaning that it is unlikely that ithas run its course with the 6,140 known cases.More than 2,860 Africans are still receiving treatment.With 20% of cases known, this really meansthat an estimated 21,500 people have died and14,300 are still infected.

WHO is seeing 1,000 new cases per week,meaning 5,000 are really out there. By December,WHO says, there may be 10,000 new cases reportedper week, meaning 50,000 would be outthere. A private international group put the figureseven higher—there may be 1.25 million infectionsand 875,000 Ebola deaths in Africa byJanuary 2015.

Believe it or not, however, the infection in theUnited States is starting much as it did in Africa,despite claims that we have nothing to fear. AnAfrican immigrant brought the disease to ourshores. His “baby-momma,” living in a squalidapartment, had him sleeping on a mattress on thefloor, interacting with her, her friends and theirchildren. Ordered to stay quarantined, she didn’tcare about society but sent her kids to school sothey could infect others.

Authorities are now quietly monitoring hundredsof possible cases of exposure, even thoughthe issue seems to have disappeared from mainstreamnews reports. But how many Americanshave been potentially exposed? One person exposesa hundred, and each of them exposes ahundred more. That’s 10,000. Then each of themexposes a hundred. That’s 1 million. Then there’s100 million, then the whole Earth.

The authorities say not to worry because Ebolais passed only through bodily fluids. Well, HIV isonly contagious through bodily fluids, and thatvirus has infected over 1 million in the U.S. alone.We are all sacks of bodily fluids. One nurse contractedEbola by touching her skin as she was removinga glove used to touch the skin of an Ebolapatient. How often do we brush against or justslightly touch strangers?

If Ebola spreads in the U.S., it is goingto start among the poor and irresponsible whomAmerica has never compelled to take care ofthemselves and who believe that somehow thegovernment will fix whatever they do wrong.When people see quarantine orders being enforced,as in Liberia, they will stop reporting thedisease. And its initial symptom, a low-gradefever, will lead them to think nothing is wrong.

Will Ebola end the world? No. The BlackPlague was comparable, and humanity survived.The 1918 influenza epidemic carried off 10% ofthe world’s population and is barely remembered.

But this will have been an avoidable plague. IfAmerica would simply control its borders—itsland borders and its air and sea borders—this willnever happen. But, as this newspaper’s readers know all toowell, this is not happening. Our borders are asporous as a sieve. Will we again have to pay theprice of internationalism? This time, that price may be millions of lives.

A White junkie (degenerate crossbreed) said that he was on visiting his sister in the U.S. with a valid visa, and elsewhere the same mutant writes he was “an illegal alien.” Good for the family! Don’t feel sorry for the mutants.
